During the Warring States Period, the position of general emerged, and it was even more powerful in the Eastern Han Dynasty. During the Three Kingdoms period, the general not only presided over the soldiers and horses, but also participated in the affairs of the court. This article will ** five outstanding generals in the history of Eastern Wu and their outstanding contributions in the history of the Three Kingdoms.
Zhuge Jin, born in 174, the word Ziyu, was born in Yangdu, Langya (now Yinan, Shandong). During the Three Kingdoms period, he was an important courtier of Sun Wu, and he was also the elder brother of Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han, and the father of Taifu Zhuge Ke. In the fifth year of Jian'an (200 years), in order to avoid war, Zhuge Jin defected to Jiangdong. With Hongzi's recommendation, he became Sun Wu's right-hand man. Zhuge Jin won the trust of Sun Quan with generosity and benevolence, and became the general and protector of Sun Wu, leading the pastor of Yuzhou and sealing the Marquis of Wanling. He died in the fourth year of Chiwu (241) at the age of sixty-eight. Although he did not make a significant military achievement, he became the first general of Eastern Wu, highlighting Sun Quan's trust in him and consolidating the Sun-Liu alliance against Cao Wei.
Zhuge Ke, born in 203, the character Yuanxun, is also from Langya Yangdu. As Zhuge Jin's eldest son, he was known for his intelligence when he was young. He was canonized by Sun Quan as a cavalry lieutenant and served as the left auxiliary lieutenant. He successively served as Danyang Taishou, Weibei General and other positions, pacifying Shanyue. In the eighth year of Chiwu (245), Prime Minister Lu Xun died of illness, and Zhuge Ke was promoted to general and presided over the soldiers and horses of Eastern Wu. He was also appointed as the minister of Tuogu, became the Taifu, and began to control the power of the state of Wu. However, due to the defeat caused by the light enemy, in the second year of Jianxing (253), he was killed under the secret alliance of Sun Jun at the age of fifty-one. Later, Sun Xiu ascended the throne as the monarch and rehabilitated Zhuge Ke's crimes.
Sun Jun, born in 219, was born in Fuchun, Wu County (now Fuyang, Zhejiang). He was a member of the Wu clan and served as a lieutenant and attendant of the military guard during Sun Quan's reign. When Sun Quan was seriously ill, Sun Jun, as the minister of Tuogu, assisted Sun Liang to ascend the throne. After killing Taifu Zhuge Ke in 253 AD, Sun Jun began to grasp the power of Wu, worshiped as the prime minister, the general, and the marquis of Fuchun County. During his reign, he carried out a large-scale purge of his clan, which led to the killing of many relatives. Sun Jun had followed Wen Qin on his expedition to the Wei state, but died of illness in the first year of Taiping (256) at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve.
Sun Qi, born in 231, Zitong, was born in Fuchun, Wu County. In the first year of Taiping (256), Sun Qi was promoted to the rank of general of Shizhong and Wuwei, and held the power of Wu. He carried out a brutal purge of the ministers of Wu, promoted him to the rank of general, and canonized the Marquis of Yongning County. However, Sun Qi had a conflict with Sun Liang, causing Sun Liang to lose the throne. In December of the first year of Yong'an (January 259), with the assistance of Sun Xiu, he was killed at the age of twenty-eight, and was removed from the clan and changed his surname.
Finally, let's talk about the last great general of Eastern Wu — Ding Feng. Ding Feng, a native of Anfeng, Lujiang, has the characteristics of being brave and good at fighting, and in the second year of Taiyuan (252), he defeated the Wei army in the Battle of Dongxing. During Sun Xiu's reign, Ding Feng designed to kill the powerful minister Sun Qi, regain the imperial power, become a general, and grasp the power of Wu. He once led the Xuzhou pastor and participated in the election of Sun Hao as the emperor. In the third year of Jianheng (271), Ding Feng died, leaving a strong mark on the rise and fall of Eastern Wu. He experienced a hundred battles, witnessed the rise and fall of the Three Kingdoms, and made immortal military exploits for Eastern Wu.
Overall, these five great generals have left great achievements in the history of Soochow, and have also experienced their own glory and setbacks. Their story is full of legends, and it has created an immortal historical chapter for Soochow to shine on the stage of the history of the Three Kingdoms.
The five great generals in the history of Eastern Wu, Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Ke, Sun Jun, Sun Qi, and Ding Feng, were each talented and left a deep historical imprint. These generals played an important role in the rise and fall of Soochow and shaped the unique historical style of Soochow.
First of all, Zhuge Jin is known as the first general of Eastern Wu. He won Sun Wu's trust with his generosity, benevolence, gentleness and integrity, and became Sun Quan's right-hand man. Although he did not make any outstanding military achievements, he consolidated the Sun-Liu alliance against Cao Wei by skillfully handling the relationship between Shu and Wu, laying the foundation for a solid foothold in Eastern Wu.
Secondly, Zhuge Ke, as Zhuge Jin's eldest son, is known for being smart and clever. He held a number of key positions in Soochow and demonstrated outstanding talent. However, in the position of a general, he suffered defeat due to the underestimation of the enemy, and was eventually killed by Sun Jun. This period of history is both a part of his brilliant achievements and a regret of his political career.
Sun Jun was the third general in the history of Eastern Wu, and he assisted the young lord when Sun Quan was seriously ill and mastered the power of Wu. However, his authoritarian actions and cleansing of his clan caused internal and external discontent, which eventually led to his death. Sun Qi succeeded Sun Jun and became the fourth general of Eastern Wu, but his arbitrariness and indiscriminate killing of innocents caused Eastern Wu to fall into internal friction for a long time and became a shadow in the history of Eastern Wu.
Finally, Ding Feng was the last great general in the history of Eastern Wu. With his brave fighting and excellent martial arts, he defeated the Wei army in the Battle of Dongxing and regained imperial power for Sun Xiu. However, with the internal political turmoil of Eastern Wu, he gradually faded out of the political arena after electing Sun Hao as emperor. He has experienced a hundred battles, witnessed the rise and fall of Soochow, and painted a strong stroke for the history of Soochow.
Taken together, these five great generals constitute a wonderful chapter in the history of Soochow. They each played a key role in the construction and maintenance of Soochow, shaping the political landscape of Soochow in its heyday. However, with the intensification of internal friction and external troubles, Soochow finally bid farewell to the stage of history under the hands of the Western Jin Dynasty. This period of history is full of magnificent waves, leaving behind many lessons worthy of pondering for future generations.
